Jasus Pat, I can't believe that Pete was only born in 1971, We all look so much younger than him, even Pogue and the Brendan fella in their most recent pictures look younger

It is a bit ironic that The Grove has figured in my life exactly twice that amount of time,44 years. |

My son was born in '71...a direct result of the Grove, a small tent in Donabate, a Bottle of Bacardi & Coke and a six pack of Carlsberg Special.

Grover from 73(old Grove)
In the year of the bankers and developers When recession raged across the land there were many driven by the hopelessness to set sail for the Americas and Australia |

I would have loved to have been there at the beginning at the original Grove Frank,I've heard the stories,they were great times...but I have my memories from St.Paul's,and the various venues since,and have met Grovers from all the eras,yourself included,and have great memories myself

I have had tears myself watching the doc,especially the part where Cecil runs out of St.Paul's crying...he could see the sea of heads for a moment...I could too,took me back to when I'd be sitting on the stage watching the moshes...its as vivid as yesterday... |

That was a very emotional part of the documentary. Most of us only have a few years in our grove 'career',. but Cecil had 30 years - returning to St. Pauls must have been very traumatic for him. It showed me he still cared despite having to retire in '97. Its also great that Cecil attends the reunions as otherwise, I don't think he would get the recognition he deserves. Its like we give something back to him at those event and via the tributes on here. I owe alot of my musical education to Cecil and am glad he taught the good stuff.....

You are right Pat, the link is out of action. the funny thing is if you do a search on RTE the reunions come up and other linked documentaries are all about The General and Dublin crime bosses. Sure we hardly did any drugs at all in the Grove
 I have the documentary on disc if you want a copy...I think?
